They performed CPR and utilized an Automatic External Defibrillator until rescue crews arrived. Knudtsen Chevrolet owners, Eve and Eric Knudtsen were recognized for their investment in the AED. Chief Ron Sampert praised all involved and encouraged the public and the business community to follow the lead and to also become trained in CPR.
